Something for Matchbox-buffs :-)

Post by stkhlmdk »

Hi, I assume that some of you are also interested in old Matchbox cars so you may enjoy what I just found at the bottom of a box. Its an old catalog from 82-83 which came out in Denmark, Sweden and Norway but is a mix of UK labeled items and some swedish text on a few pages. I have just scanned a few pages as a little treat :-D If I can find the time later this year I may try to take some photos of my huge matchbox collection but I warn you they are not mint but well-played with so dont be to exited :-)

I am not really into collecting Matchbox, but I couldn't resist buying a few MIB when I was in Prague a few years ago.

I have that dump truck. I have some of them RoadMasters or Blasters to the ones that came with clip-on weapons.

I have the dump truck and like Steve my Nephew has taken ownership of it now!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

That's cool. I'm pretty sure my old Kenworth, trailer and all, is in my sons room along with about a dozen other Matchbox toys. Did you catch James Mays Top Toys, stkhlmdk? Dinkey and Matchbox both got a mention.

Nope, I only saw his Lego adventure with the brick house and we are very proud of our beloved danish invention being used like that :-D
